What is one of the best ways to keep the premiums of your California car insurance low? You should endeavor to avoid both minor and major collisions. While this may seem like common sense, many people fail to take the necessary steps to lower their chances of having an accident. An essential part of that is avoiding rush hour traffic.

Driving during the heavily trafficked hours of 7 AM to 9 AM and 5 PM and 6 PM weekdays greatly heightens your risk of experiencing a wreck. Why is this? Put simply, it is because there is an increased amount of cars on the road. During these hours, many people are either heading to work or coming home from the job. With more people on the road, there is a larger chance of a distraction or error behind the wheel.

What if you are one of the millions of people who have no choice, but to drive at this time of day? Consider finding an alternate route to work. The shortest way is not always the fastest, especially if you constantly get stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. By finding another way from your home to job, you may be able to arrive on time even if it is a few miles longer.

Even with your best effort, there may still come a time when you are unable to avoid a collision. While at fault accidents can affect your California car insurance premiums, there are other ways to help ensure your rates stay reasonable.
